34 GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL ASSOCIATION 2.40 - STUDENT RETENTION FOR INTERSCHOLASTIC ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES 2.41 Member schools shall prohibit participation in interscholastic activities by any student who was retained in the eight grade for competitive purposes. The governing body of each school system shall develop a written policy showing that the system does not allow retention for competitive purposes. (See State Board Policy 160-5-1.19; IDE (2). 2.50 - QUALIFICATIONS TO COACH 2.51 An athletic coach must be a professional teacher meeting the teaching requirements and be employed by only one board of education or similar governing authority within the GHSA membership, regardless of whether or not they are paid for their coaching (Exception: when all boards of education or similar governing authorities and all principals/headmasters involved sign a consent form on an annual basis he/she may coach at another school system), AND: (a) be employed for 20 or more hours per week on a regular basis in a professional, contracted position and must hold a teaching certificate or leadership certificate issued by the State of Georgia, OR (b) be employed for 20 or more hours per week on a regular basis as a JROTC instructor in the school's JROTC program, OR (c) be assigned as a student intern in a practice teaching situation under the guidance of a college or university teacher training program, OR (d) be a retired teacher teaching or supervising less than one-half time (forty hours considered full time), OR (e) be a certified teacher or administrator at a member school on medical leave governed by the “Family Medical Leave Act” and/or the “Georgia Teacher Maternity Leave of Absence” policy (see the GHSA web site for the required form). 2.52 Member schools may employ persons who are not professionally certificated teachers as assistant coaches in their athletic programs. These individuals are referred to as “community coaches.” (a) Community Coach is defined as a person who does not have a professional-level certification, who relates in role and function to a professional and does a portion of the professional's job or tasks under the supervision of the professional, and whose decision-making authority is limited and regulated by the professional. Community coaches are not allowed to function without the immediate supervision of a professional and may not function as a Head Coach or be named by the school as a Head Coach. (b) Licensed para-professionals and full-time substitute teachers must complete the GHSA Coaches Education Program and testing program to be eligible to coach. (c) All community coaches should be signed to a written “agreement to coach.” They may coach for only one board of education annually, regardless of whether or not they are paid for their services. (d) All community coaches must complete the GHSA Coaches Education Training and Testing Program in “Sport First Aid” and “Principles for Coaches.” (1) Prospective coaches must be subject to a criminal background check before they are registered for the GHSA coaches education program. (2) Courses are offered at various times each school year throughout the state. (3) Prospective coaches are registered with the GHSA office by the school hiring them. (4) No community coach may do any GHSA coaching until he/she has been notified that the GHSA Coaches Education Program had been completed successfully. (e) It is recommended that the following priority for employment be used: (1) certified employees in the local system (secondary, middle, elementary, central office, etc.) (2) retired certificated personnel (3) community coaches who have completed the GHSA Coaches Education Program. (f) All community coaches must attend a regular GHSA rules clinic each year for any sport in which they coach beginning with their first year of service or the school will be fined. 2.53 GHSA member schools must register all coaches in all GHSA governed activities according to the following: (a) An initial directory listing of administrators and coaches must be completed and filed with the State Office by August 1 of each year. Only professionally certificated personnel are to be included on the initial directory listings. (b) Qualified Community Coaches are to be reported on the “List of Community Coaches’ form. Only those persons who have successfully completed the GHSA Coaches Education Program are to be listed on this form. NOTE: Schools must verify the successful completion of the coaches education program BEFORE community coaches are submitted to the GHSA and BEFORE any coaching activities are allowed (forms on the GHSA web site). (c) After August 1, schools will have occasion to add members to their coaching staff. It is the responsibility
GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOL ASSOCIATION 35 of the member school to register these additions in a timely manner. (A supplemental staffing form has been provided on the GHSA web site). (d) Failure to comply with these procedures could result in punitive actions including, but not limited to, fines, forfeitures and other penalties assessed to the member school. 2.54 Every faculty coach, community coach, and student-teaching intern at a GHSA member school must attend a GHSA-sponsored rules clinic if he/she coaches the following sports: football, softball, volleyball, riflery, cheerleading (spirit and/or competitive), basketball, lacrosse, wrestling, swimming and diving, track, baseball, soccer and gymnastics. NOTE: A fine for each coach who does not complete a clinic will be assessed to the school. 2.55 A football coach on the payroll of one school district, but under contract to another school district for the following year, may help with spring practice at the new school if arrangements are satisfactory with both systems. 2.60 - INTERSCHOLASTIC CONTESTS AND PRACTICES 2.61 All practices (team and individual) and all regular-season interscholastic contests for GHSA-member schools shall be conducted outside the school day of the participants' school. (a) Regional, Sectional, and/or State playoffs are exempt from this rule. (b) The “school day” is defined as: that period of time between when students are required to report to school and the time of dismissal of the host school. EXCEPTION: When the host school is not in session on a given day, competitions may be scheduled earlier than normal dismissal time for that school. However, any school that is in session on that day may not compete in that event before the normal dismissal time of the host school. 2.62 The GHSA shall provide rules and regulations for competition among member schools for those competitive activities listed in the GHSA Constitution and By-Laws. (a) Member schools shall compete, practice or scrimmage only against other member schools or against schools who are affiliated with the State Association in their respective states. When competing internationally, member schools may compete only against school teams in that nation that are composed of students of similar ages. International exhibition competitions or scrimmages are not allowed. NOTE: When member schools compete out of state, the host state’s adaptations of NFHS playing rules will be enforced, and all GHSA by-laws regarding sportsmanship, eligibility and game times will be enforced. (b) Member schools are permitted to compete against non-member schools in activities not listed in the GHSA Constitution and By-Laws. (c) The GHSA Executive Director has the authority to approve competition between GHSA schools and private schools from states in which membership in the State Association is not allowed. These nonmember schools must meet or exceed the State Association standards in order to compete with GHSA schools. (d) A member school shall have no more than one varsity, one junior varsity, and one 9th grade team. (1) Any sub-varsity team is limited to a maximum number of games equal to 70% of the varsity allotment in that sport. EXCEPTION: New schools that have only 9th and 10 grades with JV teams only (no varsity) are allowed to play the number of games allowed for varsity teams. (2) Competition between sub-varsity and varsity teams and/or individuals at the same event is prohibited. An exception may be made by the Executive Director for schools just opening and for schools just starting a particular sport. (3) In the sports of Cross Country, Golf, Swimming, Tennis and Wrestling, a school may use a “split squad” at two regular season events on the same day at the varsity or sub-varsity levels. Both of the contests must be counted against the total number of contests allowed in that sport. Individual players may not exceed the total number of contests allowed at the varsity level of that sport. (4) Unattached Competitor: Individual athletes may participate in non-GHSA events in the sports of Cross Country, Golf, Gymnastics, Riflery, Swimming, Tennis, Track and Wrestling as long as they do not represent their school, do not wear the school uniform, and are not coached at the event, or transported to the event, by their high school coach. (5) In any GHSA sport, there may be no “open” competitions or exhibition performances that extend participation beyond the three levels of competition (i.e., varsity, JV, 9th grade) mandated in this bylaw. The only interscholastic contests in which results are disregarded are scrimmages as defined below. (e) One interscholastic scrimmage (two teams meeting head-to-head) is allowed in the sports of Baseball, Basketball, Football, Lacrosse, Soccer, Softball and Volleyball. (a) This scrimmage may be scheduled anytime between the beginning of practice as set by the GHSA and the first regular season game for each team.
